By combining cultural enrichment, human connections, and exclusive access, Taiwanlook brought this top philharmonic's VIP event to the next level.
Introduction
In 2018, one of the world's top philharmonics organized an exclusive donor’s trip around Taiwan. This event was designed to provide a series of bespoke experiences that would not only showcase Taiwan's rich cultural heritage but also offer unparalleled access to some of its most prestigious attractions. The event was tailored specifically for the philharmonic’s board members and top donors, ensuring that each moment was infused with luxury and exclusivity.
Background
-
The client wanted to create an unforgettable experience that would strengthen relationships with key donors.
-
The program highlighted Taiwan’s cultural and historical significance through exclusive and unique events.
-
It included interactive and engaging activities that aligned with the interests of the philharmonic’s elite supporters.
Event Planning and Coordination
Planning for this event started many months before the group arrived in Taiwan. Our Project Manager had multiple virtual calls with the client in order to learn about the group and design experiences aligned with their interest.
The meeting itself was preceded by a detailed site visit, which helped to finalize the program’s highlights.
Hosting the group required additional support from Taiwanlook’s operation team in order to make sure the guests receive a white-glove service worthy of a VIP group. Our team members were stationed in all locations along the way, making sure experiences are lined up and ready for the group’s arrival. Taiwanlook staff supplemented local restaurant waiters and bartenders when required.
Program Highlight
1. Private Recital by a World-Class Pipa Player
The event began with an intimate recital by a world-class pipa player. Held in a serene and elegant setting, the performance featured traditional Chinese music, offering the guests a deep dive into the rich musical heritage of the region. The private nature of the recital allowed for a close and personal interaction with the artist, which elevated the experience.
2. Exclusive Access to the National Palace Museum
One of the standout events of the trip was the private tour of the National Palace Museum. Arranged after closing hours, this exclusive access allowed the guests to explore the museum's vast collection without the usual crowds. The tour was led by an expert guide who provided in-depth insights into the history and significance of the artifacts. However, part of the group was guided by one of their own, certainly fulfilling a lifelong dream. This unique opportunity to engage with the museum’s treasures in an intimate setting was a highlight for many attendees.

The itinerary also included a private lecture at Taipei 101, one of the most iconic skyscrapers in the world.

The guests were fascinated by the stories and challenges shared by the architect, providing a deeper appreciation of this architectural marvel.
4. Performance with Virtuoso Instruments from the Chimei Museum
A truly unique experience was offered at the Chimei Museum, where the guests had the opportunity to select any virtuoso cello or violin from the museum's extensive collection and perform with it. This hands-on interaction with rare and valuable instruments was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, especially meaningful for the music enthusiasts among the group. The performances were held exclusive for the philharmonic members, in the Museum’s private chambers, adding a personal and memorable touch to the event.
